Today’s real estate market is red hot, but it’s important to buy a house that you can afford. The good news is that a seasoned real estate agent can help you make a smart buy on numerous “fixer-uppers” in your price range. Even if the home is move-in ready, it might still need some work! Your home’s electrical wiring needs to be replaced every 25 years, and you might also need to replace a few older electrical outlets to keep your family safe.
Whether you’re interested in building a new home, remodeling, or making sure that your older home meets all of the current electrical safety standards, our team at Gary Houston Electric is here to help. We’ve been central Arkansas’ most trusted residential and commercial electrician since 1978, and we have hundreds of combined years of experience.
When you’re looking for inexpensive ways to upgrade your home, you can’t go wrong with new lighting! It’s very easy to install new light fixtures in your home, and you can use the house lamps that you have to create great task lighting in all the places where you live and gather. You don’t have to have a lot of design experience, and most of the best lighting solutions just take a little common sense.
Arkansas summers aren’t getting any cooler, and our utility rates continue to increase year in and year out. The only sure-fire way to save money is to find ways to reduce your usage. The good news is that there are plenty of great ways to save money on your utility bills this summer without sacrificing your family’s comfort!
Gary Houston Electric opened for business over four decades ago, and we’re just as committed to doing great work at fair prices as we were when we opened our doors.

When it comes to home improvement projects, it’s always important to get the most “bang for your buck!” Most of us have limited budgets to work with, and often only a few days to work at a time.

Arkansas homeowners are no stranger to rising energy costs, and there seems to be no end in sight! We’re all at the mercy of our utility providers, and the only reliable way that we can fight back is to find ways to lower our energy consumption. No two homes are ever quite the same, but most homes have plenty of areas that need improvement. Even newly constructed homes often need some tightening up, especially if the builders were under pressure to build a lot of homes quickly in a new subdivision!
Gary Houston Electric has been central Arkansas’ most trusted residential and commercial electrician since 1978, and our team of experienced electricians are always a phone call away when you need emergency electrical services, or if you’d like to schedule a free in-home energy audit. Helping our customers keep their homes safe is our top priority, and we also enjoy finding ways to help them lower their monthly bills!
They sure don’t build homes like they used to! Our cities and suburbs are full of newly built homes full of modern conveniences, and if you don’t mind a little longer morning commute you can buy a lot of land as well. But some of us are a lot more traditional and have always dreamed of buying and restoring an older home. The American “city center” is making a big comeback, and you can find some amazing deals on beautiful homes that were built long ago. The caveat is that you can often expect to have your work cut out for you to make the home comfortable and safe.
Now that we’re all being encouraged to stay home as much as we can and ride out the pandemic, we owe it to ourselves to make sure that our homes are always a great combination of comfort and convenience. We spend most of our lives in our homes, and don’t always realize how badly that we need to make upgrades, because we simply get used to things the way they are. But it’s actually easy and inexpensive to make some updates, and you’d be amazed at how much you can open up a space with a few new light fixtures and a couple of cans of paint!
